rental car question
Have any of you used zipcar or know someone who has? I want to rent a car the first couple days I'm in Berkeley. There are a few zipcars in Berkeley, but I don't want to sign up and pay $75 in fees if they're already booked for those days. Even though it's a couple months in advance, there's a chance they're reserved because many people are moving into Berkeley housing in early August. Does you know of a way to check? I don't think I'm old enough to rent a car without paying an extra fee, but my mom will be with me when I move in, so I suppose she could rent a car. Have any of had any luck with other rental car companies?
Thanks! and apologies for this random post, but I thought it might be better than a mass email.
